Overall we were very happy with the place. Stayed for a week. Details below, things to keep in mind:
PROS
- Mike is a very good host who responds promptly. He also accommodated our requests which was very kind of him.
- The apartment is small but feels spacious . The main room and bedroom are comfortable and functional. Everything is clean and feels brand new.
- Smart system allows you to control light and AC from a wall mounted dashboard.
- Air conditioning is in the whole apartment and works well.
- There are many restaurants, and two supermarkets nearby
- It's a very central located, which is great for sightseeing
- 2 small balconies
- There is a gym and swimming pool in the same building, with good quality equipment.
CONS
- The neighborhood is quite noisy, especially at night. Our apartment had windows facing a busy road. Tuk tuks now have extra loud exhausts, which is incredibly annoying. Bring earplugs.
- There is a gym and swimming pool in the same building. It’s very convenient, but the AC did not work well in the main weight area. We have reported it to the concierge. The pool seemed dirty and covered with insects. Hopefully a temporary issue.
- The bathroom is quite spacious but not functional. There is little space for cosmetics. Two small shelves placed on either side of the mirror - that's it. If you come for a few days, that is not a problem, but if you want to stay longer it can be inconvenient.
- The kitchen is small and not functional. I had to place my face on a cupboard to reach the sink and do the dishes. If you're going to eat out - that's not problem to worry.
